Saturday's "TT session 1" (our 2nd session of 4 that day) was a good bit faster for me than the Warm-up, with a 2:43.932 lap, mostly just learning the lines from Costas' notes. The sooner they got around me the sooner we could settle into our class / grid rankings and get clear laps. If I felt like I was holding anyone up I would bail on that lap and point them by - obviously I had made a mistake on that lap, or they were just faster. We had over 45 drivers, but not everyone was driving in each session. I have never seen a NASA TT event this bunched up, on a track this huge, in all of my years with this organization.

I don't know why its so hard for drivers to get off line and give a point by when you are holding someone up, or on your cool down lap. Traffic in the TT sessions was pretty rough. I hope the organizers remember how hot it is in late May/early June when they plan this event next year's calendar. Its not the safest way to drive on track obviously but neither is passing out from sweating so much you get heat stroke. I wore my driving suit all day Saturday and part of Sunday, but shed the soaking wet garment late Saturday when I was feeling the heat.
The facilities are immense and world class! I guess when you spend $450M to build a track that is to be expected.
The NASA National office folks were there to observe with rumors of NASA Nationals here? Couldn't find a better place to host a major NASA event at the country's only active track on the F1 schedule.
